Boston!

Last week I was in Cambridge, just over the river from Boston, for Recruiter meetings. This was actually my last string of Recruiter meetings since as of July 1 I will be an HR Generalist! I’m incredibly excited since this what I actually got my degree in! I will be working with staff on everything from orienting new employees, handling leaves, processing terminations, doing annual appraisals, resolving employee relation issues, and working on projects to support my designated division. I'm really looking forward to the change in responsibilities!

While I was in Cambridge I actually did a little bit of sightseeing since this was my last trip,a nd I hadn't done any on previous trips. My friend Hillary and I wandered around in Beacon Hill, which is a very old and historic area of Boston. There are tons of shops and restaurants and row houses. It was a great little area, albeit it incredibly expensive!

Walking over the Charles Bridge and looking into Boston

Looking over the Charles River- my hotel is down the river on the left.

I’m sure you’re wondering why in the world I took pictures of two store fronts. I have good reason. . .Reiss and Zara are stores that Kate Middleton (Princess Kate) shops at in London and they have stores in Boston. I’m mildly obsessed with her clothes and the fact that they are affordable and things I’d wear, so I had to get a picture. Hillary and I did go to Reiss and saw the dress that Kate wore in her engagement pictures. It was only $145. I was shocked to say the least. I’m a dork.

 The other picture that I’m sure you’re baffled over was the one of a sleeper sofa. Our company does an unimaginable amount of business with the hotel I stayed at, and well, let’s just say they goofed when assigning me a room. The “suite” was large and had a jacuzzi tub, but I don’t really consider anything without a bed a suite. I slept on a pull out couch the first night. I was too tired to argue that night to change anything. I did, however, pull the “Do you know what company I work for?!” card the second day so I could get switched to a room with a bed :)
